"Cultural Appropriation"

[paulpablo]

A person from one culture using a headdress from another culture coincides perfectly with the text book definition of cultural apropriation.

Copyright infringement and earning money from stealing doesn't.

Also from what I can tell the people who wrote the songs for elvis, both black and white, were credited and payed for doing it.

No, it doesn't...and I'm tired of explaining to the usual suspects why no amount of claiming that it does and talking about silly shit is even remotely addressing the reality of cultural appropriation.  

Well, as long as elvis's people payed one or two darkies, we're cool, right? Everyone's off the hook, then and now.

It does.

Cultural apropriation is the use or adaption of elements of a culture by people of another culture.

If a headdress is an element of someone's culture it's textbook cultural apropriation for someone of another culture to use that headdress or adapt into their own style.

And yes as long as the people, darkies or whiteys, agreed to sell their songs and got paid and credited then we are very cool.
